Hi guys!  ;D  I'm Stuart from Scotland.. I have been a marine engineer for quite a while now, and worked on most engines, particularly Kelvins, Listers and of course the big machines such as Sulzers, MAN B&W and Rustons.  I'm looking forward to learning more about the CS engines, as I have just bought a 1939 engine.  I'm hoping to get this engine looking pretty and running sweetly, and I shall then make the engine work for it's living. (She may be 70 years old, but after I've finished with her, she will feel like a 15 year old again :D)

I'm looking forward to hearing from other members about their experiences, and learning from them about these wonderful engines.

Kindest regards to all,

Stuart

If the missus finds out I'm bidding on yet another engine on eBay... She's going to blow a head gasket!!
